The 37th Uncut Playlist Of 2008

A lovely morning here in London, as the newly expanded version of “Kind Of Blue” makes for a perfect start to the day. I imagine you may have seen this by now, but if not, please check out Ben Kingsley doing Minor Threat. That’s Ben Kingsley doing Minor Threat, and watching it doesn’t make the concept any more assimilable.

After that, I suppose, a bunch of records we’ve played in the last couple of days might seem like a bit of an anti-climax. Some nice things here, though no mystery records this week – the last one, as you’ve probably guessed, was Bob Dylan’s “Tell Tale Signs”.

Oh, and the arrival of the Robert Wyatt reissues has compelled me to start tidying up the full transcript of the interview I did with the great man last year. It’s about 10,000 words long, and there are a lot of typos to fix, but I should be able to post the whole thing next week.
